Adrenaline

I knew I had an admit coming since midnight, but they did not roll in the door until 0200. That sort of delay always makes me nervous because I know a train wreck is coming my way. I assisted (by myself!) the MD to place a central line and hovered nearby as RT placed an arterial line. I hung and titrated dipervan by myself. I had lots of nurses helping me and I delegated away and took advantage of every offer while maintaining control of the situation.

I pretty much felt like this guy.



I came home humming and then promptly passed out at 0900 in a fit of adrenaline let down. What a satisfying night :)
